Eggdrop IRC Manager

The Eggdrop IRC Manager (EIM) is a TCL script for NIX Eggdrop or Win32 Windrop.

It will allow you to refresh your forum home with information about your channel, such as the nicks currently in it, the record users, and the activity of the channel.

This is a port from my IRC Channel Manager, yet that hack was for MIRC and had some bugs.

I created a new thread for this hack as the audience is different. Most people seeking eggdrops wont look into the mIRC thread.

The eggdrop version is far better than the former, so I highly recommend you make the switch if you're capable of running eggdrop.

Quick overview of features

• Uses MySQL database to store information.
• Stable, fast, easy to deploy and use.
• AdminCP interface for managing channels.

Only drawback currently is that you must run multiple bots with the script if you intend to update multiple channels. I will be working on a version that allows 1 bot to update multiple channels.

For those using IRC Channel Manager, making the upgrade is easy, just refer to the installation manual.

Examples attached. Enjoy!

Notice 1:

Ah yes, I forgot to mention the two manual bot commands in the documentation.

As a bot owner, type !refresh to manually refresh the channel. Type !startact to do the initial start of the activity timer. Both these commands should be performed when you first place your bot on the channel or after you rehash it when installing the script. You wont have to run these scripts again, unless your bot exits the channel.

Notice 2:

Your bot will refresh your channel whenever someone leaves, changes nick, joins, is kicked, topic change, or a mode change occurs (such as someone being op'd, voiced, etc.)

On a large traffic intensive channel, this will make your bot very busy. Just be aware of this. I'll plan for a timer-version, where the bot updates every X minutes, in the future.

FAQ

What is an eggdrop?
http://www.eggheads.org/

Will this work with my java IRC client? (pjIRC, etc.)
Read what an eggdrop is. Once you figure it out, you'll know that they are completely independent things.

How do I start up my own IRC channel?
This thread isn't a beginners guide to IRC. For that, refer to Google:

Will this work with vB 3.x.x?
More than likely, since there is little modification to vBulletin.

set vb_script "http://forum.myforum.com/irconline.php"

but the script not write the information into mysql.

Uomorango, you're going to have to troubleshoot some.

I can't help you when not knowing the specifics.

PM your irconline.php and ircrefresh.tcl, if you want me to take a look at it.

Worked flawlessly for me, first time.

Thanks SO much for this. It's now live on our new site!

Would it be possible to make the topic part strip the colours off the topics? It gets extremely long with lots of colour codes in it doh.

I have it working at http://www.cnc-sector.com/system09/forums/index.php? (bar the topic part for now). Ignore the lame colours.. I'm still working on it

Great script btw

eggdrop and board are in the same server ?

[Alien]

Just noticed something weird.. When it lists out a lot of names from a chat room, it eventually stops and just does alot of , , , , , , ,

What's up with that? Any idea why this occurs?

[Velocd]

Hmm, it might be stripping certain characters that those usernames happen to consist all of.

I'll look into it sometime today, when I have the time.

As for removing color codes, I'll check that out as well.

Different servers. It doesn't matter what server the eggdrop is on due to the fact that the eggdrop script uses the http module to send the details to the vB hack.

I just recently changed my IRC server for my site, since MIRC-X died, and on the new server, irc.rizon.net, my bot is handling the script much like your case.

It seems it is a server issue, and maybe data is being sent differently. I'll be checking it out.

EIM 1.3 has been released.

Bugs fixed:

• Incomplete listing of members on forum home (see this post)
  Note, you will have to recreate your channel through the vBulletin Admincp Irc page in order for this to take effect.
• Now strips color, bold, inverse, and underline codes from topic.

To update, just reupload ircadmin.php and overwrite your ircrefresh.tcl with the new file.
